Dungeons & Dragons Live Action Netflix Series in the Works, Could Launch a ‘D&D Universe’

Author : Joshua Mar 01,2025

Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series based on the Forgotten Realms setting, according to Deadline. The project, one of Netflix's largest fantasy investments, is spearheaded by Shawn Levy (director of Deadpool and Wolverine), writer-showrunner Drew Crevello (WeCrashed), and Hasbro. The series will follow in the footsteps of the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the popular video game Baldur's Gate 3, both also set in the Forgotten Realms. While Netflix and Hasbro remain tight-lipped, the pilot script is reportedly complete, and a successful run could potentially launch a full D&D universe on the platform.

Meanwhile, Amazon's Secret Level anthology series features a D&D animated segment.
